Facebook announced this week that they are working on the next generation of 'messaging systems'…which will have the @facebook.com address - comprising not just email but Facebook messages, SMS, other chat-based services and possibly VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol - like Skype) all in one place.
So what are the differences from regular email? Well apparently there won't be any subject lines, CC or BCC for a start. All of your messages to someone will be shown as a single conversation, whether they were sent by instant messaging, email or text. Yes, but won't that just feel like instant messaging anyway?
If we're honest we can't quite envisage HOW it will feel just yet but it looks like we might do soon.
